Stolen Car Check

Used Car Check

To run a stolen car check online click
below if you are buying a used car and want to check its history. The service is called
Car Check. Unlike many services Car Check also gives a finance protection insurance which
can cover you if you buy the car and it is subsequently found to be subject to a finance
agreement.

The Car Check service allows you to enter
any UK vehicle registration number, and see basic free information confirming the make and
model of the car.

You can then pay online by credit card and
see a full report giving you the history of any used car.

If you buy a stolen car, the
police have the power to take it away from you and return the car to the rightful owner.
If the car has been stolen and an insurance company has paid the claim, then the car can
become the property of the insurance company.

If you have taken out a loan to buy the car, then you may still have to pay
off the loan even though you no longer have the car.

You will not get any compensation. Buying a
car in good faith does not give you protection if the car was stolen.

You could try to take action against the
seller, but if the car was stolen, then it is possible that the seller may not be easy to
trace.
